Re: How close is the closest Disney Store to your house?

The closest store to me is about 4 miles, then another at about 6, then another about 10 (I live in a very populated surburban area in NJ 15 miles west of NYC). The Disney store recently opened up an outlet store in an outlet complex in NY state, about 45 miles away. I recently visited it this past weekend and gave my review in: http://www.disneycentral.com/forum/s...ght=PiratesFan

I also visited my local DS after I went to the outlet and noticed that the merchandise and prices were exactly the SAME! So much for receiving any outlet prices. Seems to me to be strickly a marketing gimmic since bought by TCP. I want my old Disney Store back!!!!!

Next year I'll be living about 5 miles from the mall, which has a pretty decent Disney store... hoping to get a job there! :)

I just don't get it, the Disney stores were always so busy, I cannot believe they were losing money. why would they sell them, they have really lost much of thier magic. thats just my opinion!

Closest one to me is about 1500 air miles away. About 2600 road miles. We have none here. :(

We had a couple in our state and they all closed. The closest is now in Manhattan.

don't forget the outlet in Pigeon Forge. Although they didn't have much at all last time I was at it.

Re: How close is the closest Disney Store to your house?

There are five (I think) in the St. Louis area - I think the closest is about 15 miles. The one at the St. Louis Galleria re-opened (and relocated) about a year ago and is much different from the others, which are the old "classic" looking Disney Stores.

I THINK the Peoria store is still open, but it's not worth going to any more.

Re: How close is the closest Disney Store to your house?

Our closest Disney store is in Foley, AL. Not sure how many miles, but it takes nearly an hour to get there - so I voted 100. No clue if there's any Children's Place things here.

Re: How close is the closest Disney Store to your house?

Boy! I'm so spoiled it's not funny! I've a Disney outlet store close enough that I can drive over, shop and drive back to work in an hour.(Dolphin Mall) I have another about 25-30 miles away.(Sawgrass Mills) I have 5 Disney Stores I can think of that are about a 20-30 minute drive.(Dadeland, Aventura, The Falls, Bayside, Pembroke Lakes Mall). Tiggerlover1971 pointed out another I didn't know about which would be about 30-40 minutes away.
